| Short description : |
Organically grown ware potatoes often suffer damages caused by wireworms. Several control strategies including soil tillage, different tuber harvesting time are investigated under field conditions. The occurrence of adult click beetles is monitored using pheromone traps. Monitoring is running since 2004, field trials since 2005.
